Toward the close of their lengthy commentary concerning the “quality of life stimulus” for Yreka, Brian and Connie Meek are asking us to allow our city council to put this issue on the November ballot.

Oh, yes! So here we go again! Well – if this really happens, I will again have to vote against it as one more issue going the wrong way. Yet, much as I sympathize with what the Meeks are hoping for as a stimulus for living, I’m seeing it more as another piece of bad luck for our town. Considering that in these evil times, any kind of taxation for any purpose is and will be most unjust and unfair.

Besides, even though I totally agree that our town desperately needs some changes – which should have been in the works 10 years ago – I do have to ask, why the big rush to make more, worse mistakes now?
